We do our best to get most of the news you submit to us onto the CCAD News Blog, but because there are more than 10,000 of you making news all over the world, not everything can make it into the blog. We’re glad to have another venue where we can share everything with you—this newsletter’s classnotes.

You can submit classnotes via the easy-to-use form on the alumni landing page. We only post career-related successes, awards, exhibitions, and publications, but we’d also love to know when you move, get married, or have children—just use that same form.

Now, without further ado, your classnotes from June, July, and August.

Multimedia works by John Joseph McCutcheon (CCAD 1979) are on display in Sweetness, his solo show at the Jung Association Gallery.

The exhibition includes three video installations and mixed-media works made of candy and plaster on canvas. An additional video of a performance during the show’s July 12 opening is scheduled to join the show, McCutcheon said.

McCutcheon studied Fine Arts at CCAD and is owner and director of Sean Christopher Gallery, a fine arts center in Columbus’ Short North Arts District.

The exhibition includes the works of three CCAD students: senior Clair Morey, senior Heather Taylor, and junior Laura Thatcher.

“[These] artists experiment with a variety of materials, media and conceptual processes within their respective disciplines to come together and place a creative ‘footprint’ on the Short North Arts District,” said the gallery in a press release.

Morey is a Fine Arts major from Columbus, OH, and attended Upper Arlington High School; Taylor is a Cinematic Arts major from Columbus, OH; and Thatcher is a Fine Arts major from Signal, TN, and attended Chattanooga Christian School.

Fine Arts senior Ashley Bevington received the Juror’s Best of Show cash award for her ceramic piece Sorry Rose Boy at the Sean Christopher Gallery Ohio’s third annual all-CCAD student juried exhibition, Young Hearts 3.

Gallery owner John McCutcheon attended CCAD in 1979 and knows several current professors, prompting him to hold the inaugural all-CCAD student exhibition three years ago.

Photography sophomore Rosa Cautela won the second-place award and Fine Arts junior Brittany Bergamo took home the third-place award.

The exhibition was juried by Jeffrey Cortland Jones, chair of fine arts and professor of art at the University of Dayton, and is on display through Feb. 22 at Sean Christopher Gallery Ohio.

Alumnus John Joseph McCutcheon (CCAD 1979) used actual food as the primary material in his most recent exhibition, Play Date, which opened Dec. 4 in the Short North.

The show features the photography and installations of Katelyn Cody and McCutcheon, who allow viewers to spy on the lives of tiny toy people as they row a boat across a bowl of soup or paint giant strawberries.

McCutcheon is an installation artist, life coach, and owner and director of Sean Christopher Gallery, a fine arts center, and Health Perspectives, a holistic life coaching and counseling private practice. He received his MFA in sculpture from The Ohio State University.

The show is held at Sean Christopher Gallery at Health Perspectives, 815 N. High St., Ste H&N, and is open Wednesday–Friday, 3:30–5:30 p.m., and Saturday 1:00–3:00 p.m., and by appointment. The exhibition runs through January 29.
